Bigfoot Quest: Revisiting Jerry Crew's Legacy and the Patterson-Gimlin Film

In a recent video from Ray Harwood's YouTube channel, I came across an interesting conversation with Carl Crew, great nephew of the famous Jerry Crew. Jerry Crew is known for discovering the infamous Bluff Creek footprints in 1958, which sparked widespread interest in Bigfoot. During the interview, Carl and Ray discuss the medical issue that Dr. Meldrum experienced, causing him to leave the Alaska Bigfoot cruise. They ask for continued prayers for his recovery and mention that they have no updates on his condition. The conversation then shifts to the plaster casts from Western Bigfoot Exploration. Carl shares that the cast he recently acquired is from the exact same animal as Jerry's print due to the bone structure and other unique features. This leads them to discuss the early prints found in the Patterson-Cleveland area and how the soil conditions allowed for almost perfect sand castings. Ray Wallace's fake prints are brought up, comparing them to the real prints, which show anatomical structure and biological movement. The difference between the two is striking, and Ray Wallace's wooden clod hoppers are deemed ridiculous. The discussion moves on to Ray Wallace's claim of creating all the prints, despite the existence of Prince in Nepal and Florida, as well as the Yeti in various parts of the United States. Carl mentions that Ray Wallace's family only admitted to his involvement in the hoax after his death, allowing them to cash in on the fake prints. The Patterson-Gimlin film from 1967 is analyzed, focusing on the calf muscles and their hair wear pattern. Carl believes these details look biological and anatomically correct. He also briefly discusses the possibility of saline breast implants influencing the appearance of the creature's chest. Todd's pictures of Bigfoot are mentioned, but Carl expresses skepticism about their authenticity. The conversation then returns to Jerry Crew and the machine he was operating when he discovered the Bluff Creek footprints. Ray hopes to obtain pictures from Hiram, Jerry's oldest son, to learn more about the discovery. Towards the end of the video, Carl shares that Bob Titmus, who was involved in the Bluff Creek investigation, was later involved in questionable activities. Despite this, Jerry Crew's prints remain an essential piece of Bigfoot history. This video offers valuable insights into the Bluff Creek footprints and the ongoing investigation into Bigfoot.
